Webview no longer loads url...

For months, the following url would load a login page for facebook...

"http://m.facebook.com/home.php?refid=8"

If you load this into a regular browser, a login will appear and the browser detail url would be...

"http://m.facebook.com/login.php?next=http%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2Fhome.php%3Frefid%3D8&refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2Fhome.php&refid=8&_rdr"


My webview no longer loads a login page and starts an iterative process of adding further syntax to the urls above and automatically executing these longer urls until (I imagine) the url becomes too long to process. Finally I get a message saying that the page cannot load, but the embedded url is very long at this point. I tracked this through the OverrideUrl event.

The webview works fine in the emulator, but my test devices (Samsung G3 and Asus transformer tablet) stopped loading this url this week. Worked fine for months.

I am using B4A 1.90

If you didn't change anything on your end perhaps something changed on the FB end?

I see your point, but my app (or webview) in the emulator works fine and regular web browsers work fine as well.
